Click Automation¶

Click automation is the core feature of Auto Mouse Click. Configure exactly how, where, and when clicks happen. This guide covers every click setting in detail.

Click Types¶

Auto Mouse Click supports four click types, each serving a different purpose:

Click Type	Mouse Button	Description	Common Use
Left Click	Left button, single press	Standard click interaction	Clicking buttons, selecting items, activating links
Right Click	Right button, single press	Context menu click	Opening right-click menus, accessing options
Double Click	Left button, two rapid presses	Double-click interaction	Opening files, selecting words, launching apps
Middle Click	Middle button (scroll wheel press)	Middle-click interaction	Opening links in new tabs, closing browser tabs

How to Set the Click Type¶

Open Auto Mouse Click.
In the Click Settings panel, find the Click Type dropdown.
Select the desired click type.
The selected type applies to all automated clicks until you change it.

Mixed Click Types in Recordings

When using the recording feature, you can mix different click types in a single sequence. The recorder captures whichever button you press during recording.

Click Location¶

Choose where on the screen the automated clicks occur.

Current Position¶

Clicks happen wherever the mouse cursor currently is. This mode is flexible because you can move the cursor during automation.

Select Current Position in the Click Location setting.
Start the automation.
Move your mouse to wherever you want clicks to happen.
Clicks will occur at the cursor's position each time the interval fires.

Best for: Simple keep-active tasks, situations where you want to manually control where clicks happen.

Fixed Coordinates¶

Clicks happen at a specific X,Y position on the screen, regardless of where the cursor is.

Select Fixed Position in the Click Location setting.
Set the coordinates using one of these methods:
- Manual entry: Type the X and Y values directly.
- Pick from screen: Click the Pick button, then click on the target location. The coordinates are captured automatically.
- From recording: Load a recorded sequence that includes position data.
Start the automation. The cursor moves to the specified coordinates before each click.

Best for: Clicking a specific button repeatedly, automating form interactions, targeting a precise screen element.

Multiple Fixed Positions¶

You can define a sequence of multiple click positions:

Click Add Position to add each target coordinate.
Set the delay between positions.
The automation cycles through all positions in order.

Position	X	Y	Click Type	Delay After
1	450	320	Left Click	500 ms
2	780	320	Left Click	500 ms
3	450	480	Double Click	1000 ms

Coordinate System

Screen coordinates start at (0, 0) in the top-left corner of the primary monitor. X increases to the right, Y increases downward. On a 1920x1080 display, the bottom-right corner is (1919, 1079).

Interval Settings¶

The interval determines how much time passes between each click. Auto Mouse Click supports intervals from 1 millisecond to several hours.

Setting the Interval¶

In the Interval section, set the time using the four fields:
- Hours (0--99)
- Minutes (0--59)
- Seconds (0--59)
- Milliseconds (0--999)

Interval Examples¶

Use Case	Hours	Minutes	Seconds	Milliseconds	Total
Fast game clicking	0	0	0	100	100 ms
Moderate auto-click	0	0	1	0	1 second
Keep-active click	0	0	30	0	30 seconds
Periodic refresh	0	5	0	0	5 minutes
Hourly check	1	0	0	0	1 hour

Very Fast Intervals

Setting intervals below 50 milliseconds may cause high CPU usage or unexpected behavior in some applications. Most applications cannot process clicks faster than 50--100 ms. Test with your target application before using very fast intervals.

Random Interval¶

Instead of a fixed interval, you can use a random interval within a range:

Enable Random Interval.
Set the minimum interval (e.g., 3 seconds).
Set the maximum interval (e.g., 10 seconds).
Each click will occur at a random time between the minimum and maximum.

Random intervals make automated clicking look more natural and less robotic.

Repeat Settings¶

Control how many times the automation runs.

Setting	Behavior
Infinite	Runs until you press Stop (default)
Fixed count	Runs exactly N times, then stops

Setting a Fixed Count¶

In the Repeat section, select Fixed Count.
Enter the number of clicks (e.g., 50, 100, 1000).
Start the automation.
After the specified number of clicks, automation stops automatically.

Progress Tracking¶

When using a fixed count, Auto Mouse Click displays:

Current count -- How many clicks have been performed.
Remaining -- How many clicks are left.
Progress bar -- Visual indicator of completion.
Estimated time remaining -- Based on the interval and remaining count.

Click and Hold (Advanced)¶

For some tasks, you need to press and hold the mouse button for a duration before releasing:

Enable Click and Hold in advanced settings.
Set the hold duration (e.g., 500 ms).
Each automated action will:
- Press the mouse button down.
- Hold for the specified duration.
- Release the button.

Use cases: Drag-and-drop automation, hold-to-charge mechanics in games, long-press interactions.

Scheduled Start (Timer)¶

Start automation automatically at a future time:

Click Schedule in the toolbar.
Set the start time (e.g., 2:00 PM).
Optionally set a stop time (e.g., 5:00 PM).
Click Apply.
Auto Mouse Click will wait until the scheduled time, then begin automation automatically.

Setting	Example
Start time	2:00 PM
Stop time	5:00 PM
Click type	Left Click
Interval	30 seconds
Repeat	Infinite (stops at 5:00 PM)

Unattended Automation

Scheduled start is perfect for unattended tasks. Set it up, walk away, and Auto Mouse Click runs the automation at the specified time.

Combining Click Settings¶

All click settings work together. Here are some common combinations:

Keep Computer Active¶

Setting	Value
Click type	Left Click
Location	Current Position
Interval	30 seconds
Repeat	Infinite
Movement	Random (optional)

Automated Button Press¶

Setting	Value
Click type	Left Click
Location	Fixed (450, 320)
Interval	10 seconds
Repeat	100 times

Natural-Looking Activity¶

Setting	Value
Click type	Left Click
Location	Current Position
Interval	Random (5--15 seconds)
Repeat	Infinite
Movement	Random with jitter

Troubleshooting¶

Issue	Solution
Clicks do not register in target app	Ensure the target application is in the foreground. Some apps require window focus.
Clicks are too fast	Increase the interval. Many apps cannot process clicks faster than 100 ms.
Fixed position clicks land in wrong spot	Recapture coordinates with the Pick tool. Screen resolution or scaling changes can shift coordinates.
Double clicks register as two single clicks	Increase the double-click speed in Windows Mouse Settings, or use a shorter delay between the two clicks.
